Interesting. Any reason to prefer the driver-level VLANs over the hardware switch? That’s how I’ve done it in the past, and also how the linked wiki article starts.

I’m not sure what you mean by “driver level.” Configuring vlans in openwrt will configure the hardware. (It is really the Linux kernel that does the heavy lifting)

I’m not an expert so take this with a grain of salt, but it seemed to me that the driver approach is the more useful abstraction and also the more modern, and that the old one will get eventually phased out (or stay there under the hood, out of the way).
